With Mandela's condition 'unchanged,' friend says 'it's time to let him go'

Former South African leader Nelson Mandela remained in intensive care
Monday, two days after he was hospitalized with a recurring lung
infection.
The increasingly frail Mandela was rushed to a hospital in Pretoria on
Saturday. Later in theday, the South African president's office said
the 94-year-old former leader was in a"serious but stable condition."
He was breathing on his own and his wife was by his side, the office
said at the time.
After offering no updates for 48 hours, the government said Monday
that Mandela's condition was "unchanged."
Meanwhile, his daughter Zenani Dlamini, whois the South African
ambassador to Argentina, has flown back to South Africa to be with her
father.
Mandela has been in and out of hospitals in recent years.
Each episode has sparked concerns worldwide.
